Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia - Maenad

Repost with extra tracks:

What to say about this bunch? Bunch o'weirdos from the Netherlands, in with all the Temple Ov Psychick Youth malarkey (entry requirement = a sample of your blood, saliva and spunk).

Doesn't stop them from making brilliant spooked-out tribal music though. They played at the first ever Pure at Barrowlands and I got told that their pre-gig ritual was to lie in silence complete darkness for an hour before they went onstage (at the Barras? Dearie me). Got talking to the merchandise guy and was checking out their latest release at the time which was a double-pack of 'rhythms' for mixing. The guy said "if you're getting it get the vinyl rather than the CD 'cos you get an extra track". I didn't do CDs but was intrigued as the tracklistings were the same. "You play side A and side C on decks at the same time and it creates an extra track with hidden messages". My mind exploded at this point and I had to run upstairs to see Derrick May. Crazy days and nights back then...

Eventually when I did get my decks I tried it out one night. Load of pish! That guy must'a been fucked...

Anyway here's the best mix of Maenad. Enjoy.

Exquisite Corpse - Kupuri / Chalice

Last one of the day. Although 95% of my records are on top of my friend Tufty's bathroom, this is one that slipped through the net. A wee trip down memory lane here as I reckon this hasn't been listened to in nigh on 10 years.

This hails from my Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia phase - this lot were some offshoot (also on the KK label). Either that or they just used the same font and I was sucked in... Trippy tribal nonsense indeed, but it's sounding pretty darn good today. Chalice is the upbeat one and Kupuri is more comedown.
